Batch o’ Hatch: I Wanna be Last Action Hero’d, The Cabin in the Woods on Friday the 13th, and Our Atlanta Trip

I Wanna be Last Action Hero’d

Remember Last Action Hero?

While sludging through work this morning a random thought
popped into my head. I was a little stressed and tired and, worst of all, it
was a Wednesday before 5:00 p.m. So I decided that I needed to pull a Last
Action Hero. Yes, being magically whisked into one of my favorite films would
definitely do the trick and get me through the mid-week slump.

And then I realized that this would be a great thing to
discuss here. So, if you had a magic ticket that would allow you to pass
through into any movie, which one would you choose?

Keep in mind, you wouldn’t be entering into your favorite
movie’s universe as a new or existing character. You’d just be yourself, in
whatever flick you chose. You’d probably just suddenly pop into existence right
next to the film’s characters, just like Danny did in LAH. You’d have a lot of
explaining to do.

Also, there’d be that awkward discussion where you’d have to
explain to a fictional character that they’re not real.

Knowing all this, I’d probably enter Star Wars since I’m not
really that big of a fan and wouldn’t mind letting any of the film’s characters
know that they’re just figments of George Lucas’ imagination. Plus, it would be
pretty kick ass to fly the Millennium Falcon.

Pat briefly discussed our trip up Atlantee way this past
weekend to see Delta Spirit but I wanted to throw my two cents in - I had as
much fun as is legally allowable. Allow me to share two of my favorite photos
from the trip:

Showed up to the concert venue to discover it's also hosting Atlanta's upcoming Lebowski Fest!

One night we went to Target. All I bought was this pinata. Turns out it wasn't house broken (it released its chocolate filling on our luggage on the trip back) so I threw it away.

So that's it for this installment of Batch o' Hatch. Don't forget to tell me what film you'd like to visit!

One last thing - I tweeted this earlier but here’s an
awesome photo from Moonrise
Kingdom that I came across today:
